Nspecies) where Nspecies is set by the atom_style command. The value
for the chemical concentration must be >= 0.0.
Keyword *epsilon* sets the dielectric constant of a particle,
precily of the medium where the particle resides as defined by
the DIELECTRIC package. Currently, only
:doc:`atom_style dielectric <atom_style>` defines particles with this
attribute. The value for the dielectric constant must be >= 0.0.
Note that the set command with this keyword will rescale
the particle charge accordingly so that the real charge
(e.g., as read from a data file) stays intact. To change
the real charges, one needs to use the set command with
the *charge* keyword. Care must be taken to ensure that
the real and scaled charges, and dielectric constants are
consistent.
Keywords *i_name*, *d_name*, *i2_name*, *d2_name* refer to custom
per-atom integer and floating-point vectors or arrays that have been
added via the :doc:`fix property/atom <fix_property_atom>` command.
